AI Video Factory (n8n Workflow)
Automated four-stage n8n pipeline for generating AI videos end-to-end
This framework outlines a hands-off video generation pipeline built inside n8n. It coordinates ChatGPT for concept and prompt generation, the FAL API running Veo 3 for video rendering, and Google Sheets for tracking outputs. It provides an operational blueprint for creating autonomous short-form video systems without human intervention.
The framework
Stage 1 Idea Generator: Schedule Trigger → Ideas Generator (Tools Agent) using OpenAI Chat Model, Structured Output Parser, Chat Model/Memory/Tool sub-nodes; auto-generates video ideas with ChatGPT.
Stage 2 Video Prompts: Ideas To Sheets (Google Sheets append) → AI Agent (Tools Agent) with OpenAI Chat Model1; creates scene prompts.
Stage 3 Generate Videos: HTTP Request POST to https://queue.fal.run/fal... → Wait → HTTP Request1; renders videos via Veo 3 through the FAL API (e.g. 'Yeti vlogging with chopsticks'), with auto lip-sync and animation.
Stage 4 Video to Sheets: URL to Sheets (Google Sheets update); logs prompt, caption, video URL and scene details. Clips can optionally be stitched into longer videos and auto-posted to TikTok, IG, YouTube.
What it's for
- Generate short-form video concepts and scene prompts automatically on a schedule
- Trigger autonomous AI video rendering through the FAL API
- Track generated AI video URLs, captions, and metadata inside Google Sheets
- Build unattended content pipelines for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
Key points
- Stage 1: Scheduled idea generation using an OpenAI tools agent and structured output parser
- Stage 2: Scene prompt structuring and row creation in Google Sheets
- Stage 3: Asynchronous video generation via FAL API queue calls using Veo 3
- Stage 4: Automated metadata and video URL logging back to Google Sheets
Pricing
Free. Workflow architecture is free; requires API credits for OpenAI and FAL
